Hi,

I accidentally had my iron set on the carpet and it tipped over while I was not looking and melted the carpet. OOOps. I will need to patch the carpet AND DON'T HAVE ANY PIECES TO SPARE. I THOUGHT i MIGHT FIND A MATCH AT A CARPET REMNANT PLACE. Does anyone know where i can find carpent pieces???

What can I do next?

M.,

If you cannot find a match, and if you own your home and have homeowners insurance, you can place a claim and get your entire carpt replaced. I was able to replace my carpet when a fire spark flew out from the fireplace and burned a small portion of the carpet. I placed a claim to my insurance company--State Farm Ins., at the time, and they had the whole carpet replaced because the color and style was no longer available.

I had a similar problem once in our rental where the lady had a cat that clawed up a corner.....I, fortunately, had saved a piece of carpet in our home file, from when we had it installed, and was able to use that.....It sounds like you do not have that solution, but I saw where someone suggested if you have carpet in a linen closet or other type of closet, using a piece of that would work great, too.....If that would work for you, it seems to me, replacing a carpet in a closet with similar carpet, would be a whole lot easier than trying to find the exact carpet to patch a hole.....You then can save the rest closet piece if you have another accident ;-).....Good Luck!

Can you cut a piece from the back of a closet? Thats a good solution sometimes!
